Jobs: Quichua; Spanish & Transcription: Rank Open, U of Minnesota

Editor for this issue: Luiza Newlin Lukowicz <luizalinguistlist.org>

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Imbabura) to transcribe 39 interviews. The interviews range in length from
approximately 10 minutes to 45 minutes; most interviews are about 20
minutes in length. While the interviews were conducted primarily in

interviews needs to be translated into Spanish. The hourly rate for this
